I've updated the GNU Scientific Library on Athena to release 1.3 for
Sun, Linux and SGI and made it the default. This is a general-purpose
library of numerical routines for scientific computation and numerical
analysis. If you've been using scripts with a path starting
/mit/gnusl... you'll pick up the new release automatically.
There is information on how to use it in the various README* files at
the top level of the gnusl_v1.3 locker:
README.athena
README.config
README.to-run
There is online documentation in info format in the locker. To access it:
add gnusl_v1.3 gnu
setenv INFOPATH /mit/gnusl_v1.3/info
info gsl-ref
It's also available on the Web at
http://sources.redhat.com/gsl/ref/gsl-ref_toc.html. As before, the Linux
version has problems with the default /usr/bin/gcc- the gcc version in
the gnu locker seemed to work properly.
